Exodus 36:2-15 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

2. And Moses called Bezaleel and Aholiab, and every man that was wise-hearted, in whose heart God had put wisdom, every one whose heart moved him to come to the work to do it.

3. And they took from Moses every heave-offering that the children of Israel had brought for the work of the service of the sanctuary, to make it. And they still brought him voluntary offerings morning by morning.

4. And all the wise men that wrought all the work of the sanctuary came, every man from his work which they wrought,

5. and spoke to Moses, saying, The people bring much more than enough for the service of the work that Jehovah commanded to be done.

6. Then Moses gave commandment, and they caused it to be proclaimed through the camp, saying, Let neither man nor woman make any more work for the heave-offering of the sanctuary! So the people were restrained from bringing;

7. for the work they had was sufficient for all the work to do it, and it was too much.

8. And every wise-hearted man among those that wrought the work of the tabernacle made ten curtains of twined byssus, and blue, and purple, and scarlet: with cherubim of artistic work did he make them.

9. The length of one curtain was twenty-eight cubits, and the breadth of one curtain four cubits--one measure for all the curtains.

10. And he coupled five of the curtains one to another, and the other five curtains coupled he one to another.

11. And he made loops of blue on the edge of one curtain at the edge of the coupling; he did likewise in the edge of the outermost curtain in the other coupling.

12. He made fifty loops in one curtain, and he made fifty loops at the end of the curtain that was in the other coupling: the loops were opposite to one another.

13. And he made fifty clasps of gold, and coupled the curtains together with the clasps, so that the tabernacle became one.

14. And he made curtains of goats' hair for the tent over the tabernacle: eleven curtains did he make them.

15. The length of one curtain was thirty cubits, and four cubits the breadth of one curtain--one measure for the eleven curtains.
